Yeah it's on another level to most organists....I love the way her dainty foot just floats around the pedals...

The woman is INCREDIBLE....!!! Just a GREAT jazz organ and she is a BABE ,as well..!! Thanks for this post..

It's ridiculous that someone this uniquely brilliant should struggle to get gigs outside of mainland Europe. I saw her in Berlin in around 2004, a gig that was recorded and released on CD, and it was a pretty mind blowing experience.

Wholeheartedly agree.I would love to see her live.That would be an experience.Always loved the Hammond sound from Jimmy Smith to Emerson.This lady is truly among the best.

"WOW" is right... WOW indeed...

She's awesome 👌

in this tune Barbara displays the versatility of the organ where many organ players of today lack

Swing the Blondes. Barbara Dennerlein. Virtuose am Klavier. Swing vom Feinsten. Eine großartige Pianisten.

This is REAL music. Amazing stuff.

Die Barbara ist die Beste👍👍👍👍

Yep. Pretty amazing.

FANTASTIC! The B3 was years ahead of it's time, and she can really bend them keys! GREAT!!!

She pretty badass, playing a couple of decks on a B3 and the effects unit, and also punching that swinging Bass Line with her feet. Great job.

She is killing it!

Never get tired of hearing this one!!!

incredible performance! she has more talent in her feet then most keyboard players do in both hands! thanks for uploading this

It's a midi B3 with string bass sampled through the pedal board and other sounds can be input through the keys.

durch zufall, über einen accordeonisten, kam ich auf Hammond. Da fiel mir eine Frau ein, die ich vor 10 jahren im TV gesehen hatte und die mir unvergesslich geblieben war. Wollte schon anfangen, rumzufragen, wie sie wohl heissen könnte.Gabdann aber die Suche ein Hammond swing blond ( ich hatte sie blond in erinnerung ) kaum zu fassen .....danke !!!

Spectaculaire !!!

The bass players union has just called, & they're not happy!

Fantastic!

I had the honor of seeing the legendary B-3 organ great, Jimmy Smith, in NYC a couple of years before his death. Enormous respect for his musical genius. Now, having seen Barbara Dennerlein, I think she is better.

This lady is amazing!!

wow....amazing

Awesome job!!!!

Fantastic swing on hammond, very good. One of my favorit.

oooh yeah! loving this tune. theres no one who plays hammond quite like barbara dennerlein! wow...just wow, so awesome...!! thanks for posting this.

The Left Foot of Fellowship! Redefined! Dang, I love this.

Damn I`m in love!!

certainly one of her best

Some of were meant to play and some of us were meant to watch, alas I am a watcher....great stuff!

Consistently great and waaayy underrated. I think her ability as an arranger is on par with her skill at the organ too.

B3 Hardbop !! 😍

Keyboard genius! Gotta buy her Cd's.

Geez, is this lady human? God her technique is perfect. Heavy on the percussion. And is that a MIDI on her left console? I dunno but she is sooo cool. Her hands and her left foot are so smooth. Gives us all something to shoot for. She ranks right up there with Joey D.

Ahahahha your comment is so damn tastyyy!! Yet, what worries me is that bass player shouldn't be brought to this "dislikeable" extent, due to their being, usually, the most laid back members of the band

The Sarah Jory of the Hammond.

The Mercedes of jazz organists.

Молодчина!!!

Barbra and Jimmy are two different players and are unique in their own ways. Barbra is great playing the Organ 'properly'. Jimmy di all kinds of crazy things. Can't really compare them.

@dbf678 The same way her pedals trigger an upright bass. Her vintage Hammond has a complete midi system built in to triger the module.

umm got bassline?!?! AND THEN SOME!!! love it.

Dear Penthouse, I never thought I'd be writing a letter like this, but........

Super! Funny that this is from a Letterman-like show using the house band. HA! Can you imagine little Paul Shaffer trying to play like this?! I really liked watching the drummer here, too. It seemed like he was riding on the edge of his seat keeping the beat, which he did so very well. This must be like work for a drummer, 200 BPM. Barbara, really wonderful. Peace.

It's called a "porta-B" . we used to build them here on the west coast in the 70's (pre MIDI versions at the time).

I have a new B-3 hero.

Woa! How'd she get the vibes sound coming outta the Hammond?!

Oh, forget Jimmie Smith, Groove Holmes, Charles Earland and all the rest of them. This girl has SOUL!!! Just listen to that thumping bass line!! WOW is right!!! I've never heard ANYONE play the B3 like this!

coo12808 Hey, if Jimmy Smith hadn't done it first, this girl would be playing hymns for a choir somewhere and going out her mind knowing there was such potential in her instrument but unable to find the take-off point. The key to the Hammond as a jazz instrument was its percussion tab. Up till then no organ had the "attack" - that explosive, percussive initial sound when the key is pressed. The piano is the best example of a percussive keyboard instrument. It killed the harpsichord in a generation. The B3 solved that shortcoming with its percussion capability, but it took Jimmy Smith to make the connection and light the fire. (Plus she uses many of Jimmy's settings and borrows many of his best licks.)

John Techwriter - What a load of crap. Barbara adds a swinging, incredibly swinging bass line added to her left hand chords and right hand improvised line - something Jimmy never did. I also do not recall Jimmy or anyone getting the sound of a vibraphone on the organ. And what about Milt Buckner? He preceded Jimmy by a decade. And you calling Barbara a "girl" gives you away. Saying she would be playing hymns but for Jimmy is so pompous and stupid it defies credulity. What a crappy and dumb thing to say. Jimmy did his thing. Barbara obviously enjoyed his playing and got something from it. One can certainly enjoy both of them. But your patronizing contempt for Barbara is truly disgusting.

SHe is a mean jazz machine !!! OO
